(finally) Finished Hello Betty

October 13, 2009

Yay, I’m glad to have this one finished!

I added two borders since I had lots of scraps just the right size, and now its a perfect lap size, I think it ended up being about 63″ by 75″. I wasn’t so sure about this one as I was making it, but now that its done I am in love with it. The back is a solid yellow cotton to match the front.

This last picture is for my hubby….who kindly suggested that this blog would be way more exciting if I took “action” shots of my quilts instead of boring ones. Good call Jay….it is way more exciting. :)

And for those of you that want to know, the tutorial for these blocks can be found here.

Allison…it looks great! Love the aqua binding…did you machine stitch it? I'd like to try it for the quilt I'm working on but justed wanted to hear how others have done theirs! What size of binding strips did you use? Thanks for sharing!

Hi Allison, love your quilt – so much good movement and I don't mean with your hubby's excellent idea of the action shot either – how hilarious is he – I'm laughing out loud to your blog and my hubby thinks I'm too loud so he closes the door – he would be the first one to come up with an "excellent" idea – Coodoos to your hubby for being so involved – I'm still giggling;)ValeriePS I have your blog on an RSS feed as I love it and don't want to miss out of anything!!Valeriehttp://www.pastimesonline.ca/vals-quilting/

Okay, I don't normally comment but I adore the action shot. It made me laugh and smile at how cute husbands can be, and I love that you included it.

Since I don't normally comment, I thought I would say I love your sewing too. While I don't quilt, your blog has inspired me to put that on my list of planned projects (right now I am focused on Halloween costumes). You have beautiful work. Thanks for sharing.
